Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010097

A parameter that quantifies the efficiency of precipitation in removing aerosols or gases from the atmosphere. It represents the fraction of a pollutant removed per unit time by precipitation scavenging. This coefficient is dependent on factors such as rainfall rate, droplet size distribution, and the physical properties of the pollutant.
